Saving twice the ice by limiting global warming

A new study with ETH Zurich finds that if global warming exceeds the Paris Climate Agreement targets, the non-polar glacier mass will diminish significantly. However, if warming is limited to 1.5°C, at least 54% could be preserved—more than twice as much ice as in a 2.7°C scenario.
